أَيُّها الصاحِب الَّذي فارَقَت عي

أَيُّها الصاحِب الَّذي فارَقَت عي

ني وَنَفسي مِنهُ السَنى وَالسَناءَ

ني وَنَفسي مِنهُ السَنى وَالسَناءَ

O companion, my eye has been deprived—

O my companion whom my eyes and soul have parted from

and my soul—of your radiance and glory.

We are in the gathering which bestows tranquility and pleasing audition and song

نَحنُ في المَجلِسِ الَّذي يَهَبُ الرا

نَحنُ في المَجلِسِ الَّذي يَهَبُ الرا

حَةَ وَالمَسمَع الغَني وَالغناءَ

حَةَ وَالمَسمَع الغَني وَالغناءَ

We are in the gathering that gives the palm

We partake in that which makes you forget in pleasure, and gentleness, love and passion

wealth, and the ear song.

So come to find rest, and greetings

نَتَعاطى الَّتي تُنَسِّيكَ في اللَذ

نَتَعاطى الَّتي تُنَسِّيكَ في اللَذ

ذَة وَالرقَة الهَوى وَالهَواءَ

ذَة وَالرقَة الهَوى وَالهَواءَ

We pass around the wine that makes you forget, through its delight

They have prepared for you life and modesty

and delicacy, passion and the air.

فَأتِهِ تُلفِ راحَةً وَمُحَيّا

فَأتِهِ تُلفِ راحَةً وَمُحَيّا

قَد أَعَدّا لَكَ الحَيا وَالحَياءَ

قَد أَعَدّا لَكَ الحَيا وَالحَياءَ

So come to it: you will find a palm and a face

that have already prepared rain and modesty for you.
